Construcciones Yamaro: Advance Tender Notice released for Eureka Stadium upgrade
An Advance Tender Notice (ATN) has been released for a main works contractor to complete the upgrade to Ballarat’s Eureka Stadium, bringing the project one step closer to completion ahead of the Victoria 2026 Commonwealth Games.
The $150 million investment to upgrade Ballarat’s Eureka Stadium will include the build of a new athletics track as well as see the stadium expanded to hold an additional 5,000 permanent seats, with improved accessibility.
Victoria’s Minister for Commonwealth Games Delivery Jacinta Allan said the release of an ATN provides a great opportunity for the local construction sector.
“This is a unique opportunity for the construction industry to get involved in the delivery of the venue, generating local jobs and contributing billions of dollars into Victoria’s economy,” she said.
The ATN for main works at Eureka Stadium includes civil and earthworks, construction of athletics tracks, carparking, sports lighting and associated amenities. It will be followed by an Expression of Interest process opening in May 2023.

Harriet Shing, Victoria’s Minister for Commonwealth Games Legacy, said the investment in the stadium is great news for the state. “We’re investing in world-class sporting infrastructure that will allow Ballarat to be host to some of the Commonwealth’s best athletes, driving economic growth and an enduring legacy of accessible, inclusive and fit-for-purpose housing and community infrastructure,” added Minister Shing.
For the Commonwealth Games, additional temporary seats will be installed as well as a competition standard track on the existing playing field.
It is estimated the Games will contribute more than $3 billion to Victoria’s economy, creating more than 7,500 jobs before, during and after the Games.
Victoria’s Member for Wendouree Juliana Addison said: “The upgrades to Eureka Stadium will enable us to host the Commonwealth’s best athletes right here in Ballarat in 2026, but beyond that, the improvements will benefit our community for decades to follow.”
